starting a motor that's been sitting 3 yrs...???

Long story short, my grandpa and I were restoring a 64 f#rd F350 flatbed 3 yrs ago when he died... we decided to finish it in his honor, which we did, and it has been sitting on a concrete slab for 3 yrs...

The only mileage on it is the 20 or so miles I put on it driving it back from the upholstery shop... I started it a few times, but it hasn't been started for a couple of years...

Changed the oil and drained the gas tank... it now has fresh fuel in it...

What else should I do before attempting to start it...???

Thanks for any suggestions.
